What's new and what's different with Fedora Core 5?

I'm using the embedded HP NetRAID controller which is a part of the HP
NetServer LH3Rs mobo and that's how the HDs came hooked up so I'm kind of
hesident to go about changing the HDs connections since the server is big
and seems like it'd be difficult to get inside of, currently using RAID0 so
I can get all 54GB out of the 6 9GB HDs, will change to a redundent RAID
setup though when the need arises (right now the server is merely for
playing with and thus does not hold any important information, may be used
later on for website hosting though and at that point I'd change the RAID to
a redundent setup)...is the megaraid driver still a part of the installer in
this version of Fedora Core?

Oh and yeah, I guess I must've been reading some summerized version of the
release notes because the ones linked to in this "thread" are very
comprehensive :-)
